Hopeless Pirates! (Extra chapter)

"Escape! I just need to open the door… just open the door and get inside!"

The user of the Door-Door Fruit fought back his fear, but the terror of death ultimately overpowered his reason. He raised his hand and fiercely pushed toward the air beside him.

He had to escape!

As long as he could enter the door, he would be safe.

Creak—

With the activation of his ability, a door appeared out of thin air in the air, and he managed to push it open slightly, revealing a crack.

Seeing the small opening and the strange light seeping through it, the CP0 agent's face lit up with a smile.

"I made it!"

"I'm alive!"

But in the next moment—

A faint rumble of thunder suddenly echoed in his ears.

The Door-Door Fruit user's expression froze in disbelief as he looked down.

In his field of vision, a familiar severed arm was slowly falling toward the ground. Blood splattered out in what seemed like slow motion, dripping toward the door he had just opened in the air.

Everything happened so fast.

So fast...

So fast that none of the other CP0 members could react!

This sudden change shook all the CP0 members to their core.

If someone could sever the Door-Door Fruit user's arm that easily, then they could just as quickly take their heads.

From the Door-Door Fruit user's perspective, everything that seemed to be moving in slow motion suddenly sped up as if fast-forwarded, returning to normal speed.

Seeing the man, Nicolas, standing beside him, the user's pupils shrank sharply. Without thinking, he lunged towards the barely-open escape door in the air.

He wasn't giving up—he knew that if he could just enter the space created by the Door-Door Fruit, even someone as terrifying as Nicolas wouldn't be able to threaten his life.

However—

Just as he moved, he stumbled.

This time, both his legs and his other arm were also severed.

Looking at the door so close yet so far, he finally collapsed in despair.

Using the Door-Door Fruit requires arms, and without them, he couldn't activate the ability. He had lost all chance of escape.

"…"

Rob Lucci looked at his companion lying on the ground, reduced to a mere torso, and felt a surge of despair. Originally, they could have escaped using the Door-Door Fruit, but now that was impossible.

Nicolas' gaze swept over the CP0 members, finally resting on Rob Lucci, who wore a leopard mask.

Nicolas was curious about Rob Lucci, wondering how strong he was without being linked to Luffy in this version of events.

After all, in the original story, Lucci quickly became a member of CP0 after Enies Lobby and even led missions in major events like Gold City and Stampede.

It seemed like his power and status grew in tandem with Luffy's progression.

Unlike a certain smoke-loving marine, who was left behind in the latest version.

Finally realizing that they had no way out, Rob Lucci and the other CP0 members launched a coordinated attack on Nicolas without any communication.

Rob Lucci's white robe instantly tore apart as a muscular leopard-man emerged from within.

The surrounding CP0 members also unleashed attacks like Tempest Kick and Finger Pistol at Nicolas.

At that moment, arcs of electricity crackled across Nicolas' body and feet.

A blinding flash of white light erupted, and a massive lightning sphere rapidly expanded from Nicolas, filling the entire broadcasting room in an instant.

The CP0 members who had rushed toward Nicolas were engulfed in searing lightning, their fates uncertain.

When the room-filling lightning suddenly vanished, the CP0 members had already collapsed, unmoving.

The flash of lightning had almost effortlessly claimed the lives of those CP0 agents.

The only ones barely alive were Rob Lucci and the Door-Door Fruit user.

However, Rob Lucci was in terrible shape—his once-glossy fur was now charred black, with his body showing traces of burns resembling molten lava. The heat from the lightning had nearly turned him into a burnt husk.

Lying on the ground, Rob Lucci looked at Nicolas in horror.

What shocked him wasn't Nicolas' terrifying strength but the two identical figures in the broadcasting room.

One was Nicolas holding a transponder snail, still talking, while the other had arcs of electricity crackling across his body.

"What kind of monster are you!?" Rob Lucci gritted his teeth as he questioned Nicolas.

"Heh, not telling you."

With that, Nicolas approached the scattered fruits on the ground and selected two, walking toward Rob Lucci. He had purposely controlled the lightning to avoid destroying the fruits to collect the Devil Fruits.

Soon, two fruits with strange patterns were in Nicolas' hands.

"Now, let's put on a grand show."

Nicolas walked to the control console in the room and switched the live feed to the island of Water Star.

…

"Still haven't found Pops?"

"Deal with the meteors and lava coming at us first."

Sword master Blenhiem leaped into the air, sending out Energy slashes throuh his blade toward the falling meteor showers.

The Whitebeard Pirates found themselves within the Navy's bombardment range.

To them, the lava and meteors weren't much of a threat, but it was a different story for the Moby Dick. Although the flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates, it was still made of wood, and if a meteor hit it, the damage would be severe.

Some of the ships in Whitebeard's fleet had already been struck by lava and were burning as they sank into the sea.

So anyone with decent strength in the Whitebeard Pirates was busy breaking apart the lava targeting the Moby Dick.

At that moment, a deafening boom echoed across the island.

A meteor had struck the island.

Instantly—

A terrifying explosion erupted from the impact point.

A massive shockwave, mixed with smoke from burning trees ignited by lava and lasers, rapidly engulfed the island's sky.

Meanwhile, Pacifistas began landing, with beams of deadly energy firing from their open mouths.

Pew pew pew—

Deadly beams rained down on the already desperate pirates.

"Damn it, how are we supposed to escape!?"

Many pirates, feeling like they were trapped in an apocalyptic nightmare, showed expressions of hopelessness. In this environment, they felt no different from ants.

At that moment—

High above, dozens more meteors, trailing fiery tails, descended from the dark clouds toward Water Star Island.

On a navy ship's deck, Fujitora sheathed his cane-sword and "looked" toward the island now engulfed in flames, calmly saying, "Scum like this has no place in this world."

"More meteors!"

"Marines, screw you!"

"It's over. We're done for."

"I'm tired. Let's just get wiped out already."

"Yeah, let it end quickly."

Seeing the apocalyptic scene, many pirates gave up the struggle entirely.
